The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya.
Let's look at the only game in town for the next couple of weeks: Jaconé. It’s a consistent little spot, exposed to the south swell, and the water’s sittin’ at a warm 72°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The next week and a bit is a bit of a slow burn. A solid pulse of south swell drops in on Saturday the 25th with 5ft sets and a moderate energy level (434), but the wind is howling from the SSW at 12 mph. That’s onshore and messy, and the report says it’s poor. Honestly, for the first few days, it’s all about waiting for the wind to play ball.
Sunday morning the 26th is still a bit bumpy, and the swell drops to 3ft. The real glimmer of hope in this first week comes on Monday morning the 27th. We’ve got clean 3ft south swell rolling in with a nice 12-second period and a gentle offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (358), and the report says to expect good surf. It won't be huge, but it'll be clean and fun.
We hit a bit of a flat spell from Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 30th, with waves dropping below 3ft and the energy weakening. Tuesday afternoon the 28th is okay with small clean lines, but it’s ordinary. Thursday the 30th has a glassy morning on 2ft, which is a nice paddle but nothing to write home about.
Now, hold onto your board. The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Monday the 3rd of August. We’ve got a big jump in size. That morning, it’s 7ft of south swell with a 12-second period, and it’s dead glassy – wind at 0 mph. The wave energy is pumping hard (1219), and the conditions are rated excellent for experienced surfers. That is a proper session for the crew who know what they’re doing. The afternoon stays solid at 8ft, clean but with a slight cross-off breeze.
Tuesday the 4th of August looks almost as good, with a solid 8ft south-southeast swell, a moderate offshore wind from the NE at 16 mph, and wave energy still roaring (1544). Again, this is one for the experienced chargers only.
The energy stays strong into the second week, but the swell direction swings more east. Wednesday the 6th has a good morning session with 7ft east swell and clean offshore wind (999 energy), and Friday the 8th sees a nice 5ft east swell with gentle offshores (771 energy). Overall, the second half of the outlook has plenty of decent waves, but nothing tops that glassy, 7ft Monday. That is the call of the forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
